Honestly, I'm not sure what I think of this quiz. The North America section just relies on knowing borders and you don't need to actually know any of the facts, then it jumps to Europe across a super obscure border with a territory that most people probably don't know about. I think it would make more sense to jump straight from Suriname to France and continue it that way, but maybe that has already been done, I don't know.

Was thinking the same, going from France up into Denmark and back into NA would’ve made more sense.

I agree that the way borders are in the Americas makes things more linear, but personally I appreciated the twist of going through the new and obcure Canadian-Danish border. It's super common for border quizzes to use French Guiana to leap continents and I was expecting that from the moment I saw the Chilean flag.

I agree with the Turkey. Once I reached Suriname, the next 14 answers were almost automatic.

When the quiz started in Peru, I immediately assumed it would jump to France via French Guiana. But when it didn't I was suprised. It was a nice subversion of expectations, you see.

Fun quiz, but the question with the colors of the German flag should really be changed, especially given the historic significance of the correct wording:

"Vexillology rarely distinguishes between gold and yellow; in heraldry, they are both Or. For the German flag, such a distinction is made: the colour used in the flag is called gold, not yellow.

...

On 24 December 1951, the Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof) stated that the usage of "black–red–yellow" and the like had "through years of Nazi agitation, attained the significance of a malicious slander against the democratic symbols of the state" and was now an offence." (Wikipedia - Flag of Germany)
